I don’t blame Vanessa. Imagine being a part of the most popular ship on the show, a LGBT ship at that, an interracial couple at that, and still 4 seasons into the shows run not having a storyline. Despite being a series regular for almost two seasons now and only having a storyline involving Cheryl her love interest and they barely get any screentime or storylines themselves.
Vanessa and Toni deserve so much better.

having to watch toni give that loser a pep talk when he’s the entire reason they’re even in this mess in the first place is so sick, especially when she hasn’t once been allowed to be upset with him for putting them there #freetoni
i know all of toni’s scenes have been cursed with ooc writing and #thatman recently but the lack of new toni gifsets for me to reblog to @chonicentral is getting really frustrating
after those rings popped up last weekend and i realized the ~crossroads toni and fangs find themselves at next week isn’t a break up like i thought, i never would have imagined that i’d come out of this episode more confident than ever about a choni season finale kiss, but here we are.
while i always knew that this failmarriage was gonna happen to strengthen their custody case and not out of ~love, i assumed it was gonna be a decision they’d make together after it was suggested to them. i assumed fangs would not have told her about his conversation with kevin and figured maybe that would come into play later, but regardless, i thought it would be a joint decision. wasn’t sure how they’d feel about it - hoped for dreaded it, feared being excited for it - but a joint decision none the less.
these past handful of episodes of them have been brutal to watch, seeing him make mistake after mistake, endangering both her son’s life and her custody of him, and just act all around insufferable and misogynistic, all while she had no negative reaction to it. it felt like i didn’t even recognize toni, and tonight was no different, with her giving him a pep talk after his whining and then barely reacting to him working with percival after all he’s done. so to see her apologizing at the start of that scene? oh i was seeing red.
but then. wow. that plot twist. not only have they set up fangs to feel humiliated and toni to be lying to him (and for me to brush off literally anything she says to him from here on out as her lying), but they also established her being very aware of how much they’ve been disagreeing on everything and how unstable their relationship was. that was very nice to see, i just wish we got confirmation that she’s been so passive because she’s been trying to avoid more fights or something.
anyways, the point is, they’ve now established two massive, relationship ending secrets between them, and set up this failmarriage on even shakier grounds than i imagined. i still hate it because it’s still so unnecessary and think fangs’ phone call in 612 and his other recent behavior is more than enough to break them up, but this did ease my mind on it a bit and make me sure they’re done by season’s end. also the parallel between the abigail/fenn forced marriage to toni/fangs forced marriage? kinda cool!
as for heather, she gave off the exact sketchy vibes i expected and got last week when she ignored cheryl’s email and didn’t show up until she used her magic to forge archie, and she almost certainly killed her mother. but regardless of that speculation, her purpose here was clearly established in their final scene, when they made such an obvious and clunky parallel between cheryl being a witch and cheryl being a lesbian.
i’ve been thinking it was random to bring heather back now when she’s been forgotten for seasons, and wondered why they didn’t just make an original character for this role, but i get it now. it’s kind of a thoughtful parallel to have the girl that helped cheryl first discover she was gay be there to help guide her through discovering she’s a witch. not to mention them finally acknowledging choni, having cheryl think they’re over, and spell out that cheryl is lonely and yearns for love. and of course, the most obvious purpose of giving cheryl a midgame: so people can’t say the lesbian was the only one without a love interest all season.
i’m not 100% sure if i think she’ll be sketchy or in what way, but if i had to bet, i think she’ll either be trying to steal cheryl’s power (hence why she came when she did and probably killed her mom to get her powers too) or her coven is evil and she’s there to try to bring cheryl to percvial’s side, since the actress did follow chris very early on into filming.
anyways, all of this is to say, toni/fangs are even worse than i thought and their days are officially numbered, and cheryl/heather’s midgame status/purpose was made extremely clear. they’ve teased the other old ships during the season because they’re not getting back together this season (per kj) but choni has gotten nothing because they are (riverdale writer’s logic for you). annoying, but i’ll take it at this point.

I’m not saying Beronica is superior (I am) but Veronica sacrificed herself for Betty twice and what have the men done?
(Also, Cheryl sacrificed herself for Toni and again I ask, what have the men done?)

Did I miss something, or is it weird about the Baby Anthony custody storyline that Kevin hadn’t had anything to do with that child until he started baby-sitting that time?
Toni:Cheryl?
Cheryl: Jason used to call me Cheryl..
Toni: [sighing] Because it’s your name.
